Gitche Gumee RV Park & Campground

This place needs a upgrade. Very run down. Showers and Bathrooms were awful. The water smell was overwhelming. Definitely can not drink. Plus it was $70 a night. Pictures on website are very deceiving. At one time it was probably a nice place.

This is the coolest place! It started with a phone call to confirm last minute availability. Jeff warmly welcomed us to come on. When we arrived, he was just as welcoming. They are located literally across the street from Lake Superior. Plenty of amenities including showers, propane, a craft beer bar, laundry, and cute gift shop upon registration. Everything you could need while traveling.

The site we were assigned to was so heavily treed that we couldn’t deploy our two slides (one on each side) completely due to overhanging tree branches. Jeff Glass, the owner, represented to us the site we were assigned was spacious. The proprietor of the park, knew full well that we were coming in with a 35' motor home. Upon arrival, we were shocked that the whole park was so unmaintained with overgrowing trees rubbing along both sides of our motor home. In particular, the passenger side of our motor home was scratched all the way down the vehicle as we were pulling in due to overhanging tree branches. Glass took our credit card info over the phone and charged our account for our planned three day stay - $296. He never sent anything regarding terms and conditions of our reservation. Furthermore, the time it took to make the reservation over the phone was about four times longer than it should have taken due to the owner's incompetence and/or mental condition. Upon arrival and check-in, he was asleep at the desk and looked more like a dirty homeless person. We connected to the well water spigot on site and, despite running for a bit to help clear out the crud in the water line was grossed out by the dirty brown water which smelled like sewer water. There's no way one could consider drinking it. The local health department will be notified of the poor water quality as it's highly doubtful it could pass inspection. We attempted to bring these issues to the owner at the registration office but the door was padlocked. We were able to make contact the owner's daughter over the phone to inform her that due to the disgusting water quality and overgrown conditions of the trees on the campsites we were checking out after the first night. She offered a ridiculously weak and insincere apology with no recommended solutions to any of our issues. Her response was basically, we charged you our "stated" $95/night fee and you paid it and informed us that once paid, no refund is available under any circumstance. Only, a credit for two nights stay at sometime in the future. They never provided us any of the terms and conditions of the park as to our reservation. She was curt, disrespectful, and totally useless as to our situation. Never coming here again. Don’t waste your money. Stay at the new RV park at the Ojibway Casino just to the west of this location and only $40/night with full hookup and beautiful bathroom & shower facilities. Finally, their website shows spectacular views of Lake Superior and a beautiful layout which is a total misrepresentation of what it actually is when you get there. You get here and it looks like hillbilly heaven.

We stayed here in a tent side so we could bring our sxs and put some miles on her. We also had friends with us who had a 42’ camper The only complaint we had was the price but we had reserved pretty late and were still able to get in We had read some not so great reviews and were a little worried after making reservations However I say we were happy with our stay overall!! The water was quite rusty but we were in iron country. Other than that Jeff Crystal and her husband were quite accommodating and very friendly! If we come up again to ride I think we’d be up to stay there again. It would be nice to see some of the shut down operations back up and running but we accomplished our goal of a fun relaxing week!!!

Thank you for the hospitality - we will carry your spirit with us as we travel on- we will be back to visit again soon!
